<-- The Baryonyx
Its adaptations for its habitat
The Baryonyx was very similar to the waterfowl of today with its kind of feeding habits and where it lived. The Baryonux lived in mainly swampy areas and/or near lakes. This dinosaur has been assumed to be a 'fishing' dinosaur due to these adaptations:
Structural adaptations:
The large, foot long claw used for grabbing fish.
Its elongated snout for submerging it in water to look for fish.
It has a low-slung body so it can reach the water easier when hunting.
